Dynamics and Expression:

Imagine this piece as a stopped moment in time. This moment is filled with memories
of the past and thoughts of the future. But, most importantly, it is a frozen moment
in time and therefore dynamically there should be no great surprises. If anything, the
listener should be carried gently by the hand from one bar to the next.

Technicalities:
This is a deceptive piece since it looks easy but there are three parts througout. This
becomes difficult from bar 9 till the pause in bar 20 because the middle part must be
kept in the background. This is tricky because it is a repeating note but try to keep it as
light as possible and allow the melody to be crystal clear above it.
